We went to Ferris last night for a date night. Laura was our waitress and she was incredible. Very attentive, engaging and also a little entertaining. Both of us had filiets and they were cooked to perfection. I would definitely recommend this place for a romantic date night or any kind of dinner night. It was perfect. read more

Prime Rib was very expensive for the cut of meat we were served. The prime rib was tough and over cooked. The scampi was swimming in garlic and had was over cooked. Caesar salad was wilted. I think they should concentrate on fewer menu items and take the time to prepare items that can pass for at least as good as Olive Garden I would not waste my money going to this steakhouse. We talked to management and they did not seem to care. read more

Its just slightly worse than OK. Pretty pricey and below average. I am not a chain restaurant person. But you would do better at Texas Road House or something like that. I spent 300 bucks for 5 adults and an 18 month year old. And at the end it was not worth it. I dont mind paying for great food. Their steaks were pretty poor quality and priced high. My daughter got a sandwich and that wasn't very good either. Everything from start to finish was a 2 out of 5. read more

As you can see by recent reviews this are not very favorable, and mine is worse. The potato and salad was good. That's it. My first Delmonico i couldnt cut and when grizzle and veins were observed I said I wanted another steak. Before the waitress took it back she suggested the knife might be dull. Not sure why she would serve me a dull knife, but the next one proved that knife wasnot any better. Sooo I then ordered a strip steak and aftercutting into this steak I asked for boxes to take it home. Still trying to be polite I told Margaret I had two dogs and was going to give the steaks to them. This is a warning to all who wish to dine there. The good reviews are by people who have drinks, bar food, or appetizer. This wasn't my second and last time I'll ever visit Ferris Steak House. Too bad the old one wasn't still around. THAT WAS A RESTAURANT. Garbage read more

Service was exceptional even given it was Valentine's Day. Food was delicious. Would've liked a different table given we were basically dining with the couple next to us since we were so close but understand it was a busy holiday. read more

Our server/bartender was Alicia, the nicest of the nice, and the best of the best! She makes a terrific cosmo, and had a warm and welcoming demeanor. We all enjoyed the atmosphere, and the food was really good quality, very tasty and not greasy at all. The salad dressings are made fresh in house. The menu had something for every palate and a generous amount of offerings for dessert. If you like good food and a plrasant atmosphere, Ferris is the perfect place for you ! read more

We have not been here in years (old location), but we made a special trip from the East side (50 min drive) to revisit what we did remember b/c it was one of the most amazing dinners I've ever had. I recalled amazing french onion soup, a delicious black and blue filet - and wonderful ambiance. We made reservations and were seated immediately. Waitress was wonderful and attentive. I ordered the french onion soup as an appetizer and the Surf and Turf (filet/scampi) with blue cheese crust. My husband ordered the surf and Prime Rib. To start I was disappointed that my soup and (both of our salads) were delivered at the same time. I felt rushed to eat as to not let my soup get cold, while trying to enjoy our salads together. I would have liked to enjoy my soup separately without having to rotate back and forth between the two. When my filet was brought to the table, it was missing the blue cheese sauce on top which was my big request. The waitress returned to the kitchen to bring me a "side" of it - seemed as if it was microwaved b/c half was hot; half was cold. Filet was cooked perfectly and the side of garlic mashed was eh. I thought the scampi was cooked well, but it was so bland even with the butter (which seemed unsalted). My husband's prime rib was "average ...and not the best he ever had." He also said it was a bit on the fatty side. He loved the scampi and ate the remainder of mine. I was also surprised at the dress code seated around us. We spent over $200 on this meal and were seated near two tables that had guests in construction work attire (neon sweatshirts, baseball caps, and work boots). Not that it affected our dinner, but when you're spending over $200 to dine - you'd expect some sort of dress code policy to make it feel a little more upscale. Overall we won't make the trip to return. If we lived locally - perhaps we'd revisit, but certainly not what we remembered. read more

My parents took me to Ferris Steakhouse in Rocky River for a birthday dinner, and it was an outstanding experience! The food was wonderfully fresh and cooked to perfection, the service was friendly and attentive, and the drinks were excellent. It was a truly memorable celebration--definitely a must-visit! read more

Good food selection for Happy Hour, especially the margarita flatbread. Happy Hour prices a little high compared to prices at other restaurants. read more

I could not cut the prime rib - medium rare. Sent it back and received a Delmonico steak - not much better. There was also an upcharge on the steak. Will not return. read more

The prime rib sliders and loaded mashed potatoes were fantastic. However, the steak was tough and had absolutely no seasoning. We mentioned it to the server, and she suggested it was because of the full moon read more

We've been going here since the old location. Service was abysmal. We waited over 45 minutes for steaks and the restaurant was empty on a Friday night (that should tell you something). The 2 filets were unseasoned and flavorless. The strip steak was 40% gristle - NOT a prime cut! Some poor woman vomited right next to our table. They barely cleaned it up. Not a word of apology from the staff about any of this. Pretty sure you could get the same meal at a buffet. We won't be back. It's really too bad to see a legend fade away. read more

Such a great atmosphere. Food was decent. Waitress was darling and service was good. However, it is frustrating when the menu does not denote gluten free items and the staff is completely clueless about gluten. Not common at this day of age. I'm bummed but I won't be going back. read more

Onions everywhere, even on their mashed potatoes so disappointing. Definitely not coming back.

Always a win!!! We ventured out to celebrate my parents anniversary and dinner at Ferris was the perfect option. Drinks, appetizers and entrees oh my, and the staff just keep you coming back. The atmosphere at Ferris is casual with a great steakhouse vibe, not stuffy or overpriced. Win Win. We started with a bottle of Pinot Noir and it was great. The salads and soup are fresh and homemade. To the entrees, fresh cut steaks cooked the way you want them, pasta cooked with the right bite. I'll keep it simple. Ferris is great for happy hour, curbside family pickup or a sit down family meal. The service is on point and top notch, the food is delicious and the tab is never as high as you think it should be. I'll be back. read more

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." Glad to know I am not insane. I find it discriminatory and agist that they have NOT ONE booth that will seat 4 people in the Happy Hour section. I asked the hostess if she could accommodate my 85 year old mother in a booth and was flatly told no- Why would I expect any type of consideration for an elderly patron? Today my mother in laws hip was feeling a little better and we were able to help get her in to the high top chair. I ordered hot tea- it was "cute" when they brought out a battered wooden box filled with sad old tea bags. No, Ferris- you will not be mistaken for The Ritz. Betty was a lovely waitress. That was a nice upgrade. read more

Excellent service, drinks were good. I didn't like the lamb lollipops but my husband really liked them. The dinner entrees were very good. read more

We went to Ferris after reading nice things. It was horrible, the service was atrocious, forgetting us for long periods of time, at one point never returning and having another deliver our food. Our Food was bland and very mediocre at best. I ordered calamari it sucked. The entrees steak and fish were so bad we left them. Never waste your time on this place read more

We were celebrating my father in law's birthday and we had to wait over 90 minutes to get our sad dinners to our table... it was the saddest clam bake ever... the smalles clams and mussels we have ever seen, a salty steak, corn from a can and 3 small boiled potatoes for $66... the worst part: when we called the manager/owner to complain, he was super dismissive, barely acknowledged us and left right away... we will not be back EVER! read more

Went in to celebrate christmas with friends, so had a party of 8 on a Saturday night which I know isn't the easiest. Our service was friendly and fast, along with amazing food. Our appetizers included the special (seafood stuffed mushrooms) and French onion soup. Everyone's steak came out perfect, we will definitely be back! read more

This review is for the bar area. This is our second time stopping by for cocktails before dinner. One day we will have dinner here as it smells great inside...all those grilled meats! My wife had a cosmo and I had the peach old fashioned. They have a great drink list. Thanks Matt for the great drinks and great service! read more

Came here for a work related function. We were greeted upon entering through the door, and was immediately shown to our table in the back room. Once we decided which of the three tables to sit at, a staff member came to take our drink order. There were 20 of us in attendance, and the staff members working at our tables did an amazing job! They were attentive to everyone in our group. Our drinks arrived quickly after ordering. We shared three appetizers: flatbread, calamari, and stuffed peppers. All were delicious but the calamari was my favorite. The flatbread was good too, and liked the spice level of the stuffed peppers. For my meal, I ordered the 14 oz strip steak, with baked potato and a house salad. Their house dressing is amazing. My steak was cooked perfectly, medium, just as I ordered. Others at my table really enjoyed their meals too. Other items ordered by people stunning near me were pork chops and scallops. I heard that the scallops were very good and cooked well; not overdone and had a good flavor and texture. The pork chops were also cooked well, and seasoned perfectly too. They looked really juicy. The portions are large here and I ended up bringing some of my meal home. So did others at my table. The staff worked hard and were efficient. They were also very nice. I didn't feel like we had to wait long for anything. There was also someone just to refill water glasses. We were thanked for having our work event here. Looking forward to eating here again! read more

Ferris Steakhouse & Tavern - Bars Near Me - Rocky River, Ohio

I am absolutely mind blown at the price range of this place considering the extremely sub par experience. As someone coming from out of town, when I see a menu of about $40-$50 per plate, I expect to interact with a courteous wait staff and try some good food. I can say I have paid for steak dinners three times as good as this place, at a third of the price. The server approached our table with "what do you want to drink" instead of even a simple hi or hello. Salads and baked potato looked like something you throw together for last minute dinner ideas at home, when you don't know what else to make. The baked potato wasn't fully cooked and under seasoned. And the biggest thing of all, I came to a steakhouse that didn't even season their steaks. Another person in my party also got a prime rib (supposedly cooked medium rare) that came out basically grey with no types of fat on the cut. I'm typically such an easy going person when it comes to dining but I am just absolutely kind blown an experience like this cost $170 plus tip. Not worth it in the slightest. read more

Ferris Steakhouse & Tavern - $62 surf and turf presentation.. are you kidding me - Bars Near Me - Rocky River, Ohio

Just finished a fantastic dinner at Ferris. Food, drinks, service and ambiance all a home run. My guest had the 10 oz. filet. Cooked to perfection, with a nice portion of seasoned asparagus. My choice was the 10 oz. sirloin which was as good as any steak I have had in the area, but at a much more reasonable price. Our server Dasha was terrific and while I would normally have a baked potato, she recommended the "loaded mashed" with cheddar, bacon, and chives. Wonderful! I am a pretty big eater, but left with a to go bag with about half of my order. Dinner tomorrow. No desert, but there was icing on the cake. Perfectly poured Makers Mark Manhattan ----- wait for it------- only $10.00! Absolutely unheard of. Thank you Ferris Steakhouse. A Cleveland area treasure. read more

Sad , we ordered 2strip steaks andThe special bacon wrapped fillet . One strip wasn't even fit to eat they took off menu , the fillet was very coarse and was a 5 out of 10. Service was very good. Ambience was comfortable. The owner should be embarrassed of the quality of the meat very disappointing. read more

I stayed off of all forms of social media as a new years resolution, and literally broke my promise to myself because I just had to inform the public about how bad this place is. Our first observation was that the atmosphere seemed off...too casual for the price point. They also overcompensated for their pedestrian table layout by turning the lights so dim, my wife and I were actually having a tough time reading our menus. Next was our server. What a ball of sunshine she was. I don't know if she just has been jaded by being in the industry too long, or if she just recently got her dose of Lexapro increased by her Dr. She was short with us, very robot like, and just an overall bad attitude. Appetizers : The appetizers we got were a bowl of the soup of the day for $8 and a $20 dollar order of fried calamari. The soup was okay but it was practically served in a thimble, my wife ate it in about 5 bites. The calamari came out as about 12 TINY little o-rings that were chewy and clearly pulled from the frier too early. Even if they were halfway decent the portion size was insanely small for the price. Dinner (from hell) : When you spend $160 at a restaurant without any drinks or dessert, you should expect a good meal. Even though we were expecting portions to be smaller, we assumed great quality and well presented food was coming as the price range generally calls for. Wow did we assume wrong. My steak was a $46 14oz delmonico that was ordered medium rare with mash potatoes and cheddar, and a Ceasar salad. Wifey got the 10oz filet medium for 50+ dollars with the same potatoes and a house salad with a honey based vinaigrette. The wife's salad was actually good, of course my ceasar salad to my surprise had some sort of oddly thrown together sweet dressing that the waitresses response when I asked about was " Yeah we do our Ceasar salads different here" and then walked away into the darkness. Then it happened--we received. Hand delivered by what seemed to be the GM or owner. Two plates of steak and potatoes that looked like we had plucked the ingredients from a buffet line and sloshed them on to a plate ourselves. But forget about presentation, my delmonico was cooked medium well, and my wife's "medium" filet was so rare it was blue! We never send food back at places, and we're embarrassed to even have to do so...but we just had to, even if they mixed the temps up they still got them wrong on both. What was more embarrassing was how we were treated when we showed our depressing, emotionless and thoughtless waitresses. She stared at them for a minute or two as if we were lying, took the plates without saying any words and disappeared into the abyss. My steak came immediately back out after we heard arguing in the kitchen. "Chef says this is medium rare. you might need to hold a light up to it to see, I'll be back with your filet." Annnddd back into the abyss she went. I took a better look at the steak and it was definitely not medium rare, but I was so hungry I decided to eat it, with my wife insisted on even though she was without her steak still...she knew I had been fasting all day. Her filet came out and instead of making her a new one, they just tossed her -now cut in half piece of meat - around on the grill and returned it in almost the EXACT same condition. The only difference was there was extra char on the outside. My wife scoffed at what was just set in front of her but, starving as she was, barely ate more than a few bites. -- but hey at least we got something to eat right? Two disgusting steaks that were not even seasoned nor the right temps, that we couldn't come close to finishing, with potatoes that were equally unfortunate--undercooked and under seasoned. Needless to say we were fed up, pushed our plates to the edge of the table and waited for waaaay too long for our waitress to come back. The best part: The robot of a waitress comes back over with boxes and a check, no mention of dessert...all this while clearly knowing we didn't like our meals and for good reason. We were too disgusted to speak up, we were now embarrassed for this reataurant...for whoever decided it wasn't worth it to serve good food, using wait staff that doesnt smell like cigarettes and maybe smiles from time to time, with prices that reflect the quality of that food, and that most importantly don't make the customers feel wrong when they clearly had screwed up as an establishment. And so we left. We left a good tip because we aren't degenerates, but most importantly we left that abysmal food where it belongs, sitting on our table as we walked out of the WORST STEAKHOUSE that my wife or I have EVER been too our whole lives. $160 down the drain and we still had to find something quick to eat after we left. Could have gotten a better steak at Applebee's. SHAME. read more

This place is an old school wanna be steak house. The prices are WAY to expensive for the quality they dish out. Service was just ok as well. Place was clean. Wife and another person had swelling tips, really about 4-5 pieces of meat. I had the ribs full slab...9 bones. The "signature" bbq sauce is horrible. Salty bbq sauce? Stuffed peppers were a good app however we only got one and a half. Look, it's just not a 30-65 per plate place. Lower prices may have got them another star. When you charge top dollar you have to represent and this place just doesn't. I'm pretty sure the word is getting out. Friday night at 7:30 only 3 tables had people at them. read more

Had a wonderful meal at Ferris Steakhouse. Took my friend there for her birthday and we both had the Black & Bleu Filet and it was amazing! Cooked perfectly and the bleu cheese sauce on top was amazing! Our waitress was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive but gave us time and space to talk and catch up. She wasn't annoyed when we needed more time to look at the menu because we were chatting. They had a very nice wine and cocktail selection. Their bar area looked really nice and I could see sitting there having a drink and watching a game as they had tv's all around it. The restaurant is very classy and well decorated and the bar area is very nice too and I would call it an upscale bar area but a place where you would feel comfortable watching a sports game. We will definitely be back. read more

Just in town on vacation, stopped here and was not disappointed. When I say everything on the table was delicious its not joke. All the dressings are made in house. Steak cooked perfectly to order, and the lemon chicken was probably in my top 3 lemon chicken dishes lol. The bread is served with soft whipped butter check this place out super yummy! read more

Ferris Steakhouse & Tavern - Lemon chicken, Delmonico steak, house salad with ranch. - Bars Near Me - Rocky River, Ohio

So I came here with my boyfriend the other night and I was hoping to give a few more stars this time but I just couldn't. The inside is very nice and the waitress was nice. My boyfriend got italian wedding soup and took one bite and was like that is not good. Now he is picky so I was like oh let me try it. I agree I would not order it, it just didn't taste good and wasn't seasoned well. We both got steaks. He got the cleveland strip and I had a filet. They were nice pieces of meat and cooked to order but again lacked flavor or seasoning. A side of mushrooms was 6 dollars and somehow those had no flavor either really. The best part of my meal was the ranch dressing on my salad it was so good! We decided that for 123$ meal it was not worth it we would rather go to outback or longhorn and pay half and have some flavor. read more

Mouth-watering steaks! The best service you've ever had! And friendly people everywhere. I have to say I have found my home steak house. The Ferris steakhouse is a perfect go-to for an excellent meal and a really wonderful time. I just went there my second time. The first time I had the tenderloin kebabs. Melt in your mouth, so tender! Last night I had the lemon chicken. Also exquisite. And let me talk about those appetizers. The Irish egg rolls are tasty. The portions are huge. And the value is hard to beat. We will see you soon because we will be back again and again! read more

A good place with good food. My wife had a salad with beef and I had the Chicken Marsala. Both dishes were done right. Food was tasty and satisfying. Service was very good and our server was attentive to our needs. Others in our party had steak dishes that they enjoyed. We would come again if we lived in the area. read more

Poor cook, poor flavor. Got a Delmonico steak medium rare-- the cook was good but the steak itself was eatable at best. Zero flavor really hard to cut through, definitely not a $40+ meal. Good vibes and great service besides the food though! Wouldn't go back though :/ read more

The food was amazing definitely worth the price. The service was top tier. Overall a nice place to get a nice fresh 5 star meal in my opinion. read more

What happened to Ferris Steakhouse. We have been going to Ferris for a long time. We went there to celebrate our 48th anniversary. We were shocked on how dirty the floors were and as we went to the bar, and sat down, no one payed any attention to us. I was really looking for to my Manhattan, they always made them just the way I liked. I just don't know if we can go back. Hope they go back to the way they were before read more

The food has always been the top of the line and service beyond any other restaurant. Been celebrating new years eve for years and they have never failed with food or service. The manager/owner is working thd room to assure that every customer is satisfied read more

I had high hopes for this place even after reading all the reviews. The ambience was very nice and service was ok even though waitress forgot to put in for our fried calamari . The Detroit meal was good but not worth the price, my parter had the prime steak , stated it was awful. No flavor looked like they just threw it in the oven to cook it, and chewy and I realize why the waitress asked us if we wanted steak sauce . Complained to manger , he state no body says anything like about the food and that he will take care of us when we come back . No way I'm going back . Our dog got the steak. read more

We love steak a lot and we decided to go somewhere new and it was for the most part a mistake. The appetizer of French dipped sliders was actually amazing but the steak itself for my dinner was blah. It was over cooked and just blah no flavor at all. I always prefer to try and steak without steak sauce (especially at a steakhouse) but it needed love... anything. I also decided while ordering my New York strip to do a scampi combo. I must say the scampi (prawns) were phenomenal! The saving grace of my dinner. Again steak blah--red skin garlic potatoes were also under seasoned as well. I'd never come back for steak but the prawns yeah. Our server Betty was wonderful! Truly a gem. read more

Nice atmosphere with an upscale feel. I had the filet which was cooked well but dry. Baked potato was fine and rice was ok. Husband had the prime rib and baked potato both were good. Bread for the table was warm and soft. Waitress was nice but didn't really explain the specials or options like we overheard another waitress do. Had we heard all the options we would have chosen another meal. Dessert menu is limited. We felt rushed as our waitress kept picking up our dishes as soon as we finished. My steak knife was dirty with crusty food on it, but the waitress quickly replaced it. There was a large party next to us who were enjoying their drinks too much it was so loud and obnoxious. Price point is good. We would go again. read more
